Best of Show:

Although we were told we came in second in the voting for "Best of Show", it was hard to compete with this paint job and interior. Great looking in person. Even I considered voting for this car.

This was painted on, not vinyl graphics

The interior was very nice and also had a great sound system, in the trunk. . . the entire car was very clean and tasteful.

A few questions:

1. Do stock kats ever win any trophies? How about first place?

2. If stock kats rarely win trophies, what does it take to win one (add-ons, paint,etc.)?

3. Where do you find local car shows? I assume that there are several each month in Southern California, but I just don't know where to look.

Thanks,

I'm really not into car shows as far as sitting there all day with my cat on display. I'm not into trophies.......I know my cats are winners. A group of Michigan owners got together and cruised to a car show one night and dinner. When we came out from dinner, I discovered that they had chosen my cat as a winner! It was nice. It was my candy with the mods.......louvered side panels, painted bumpers, chrome grille and hardtop.

We are very fortunate, here in Michigan, to have a printed periodical called "Cruis'news". It lists all car events going on in Michigan for the entire cruise season (monthly). There are cruise-in sites every night of the week. For Monday nights, there are 16 listed. For Tuesdays, there are 25 listed.......and so on. There is no lack of places to cruise and hang out. I just found out (in talking to them at their booth on Woodward) that I could have had the Prowler Dream Cruise Event listed in their publication............. Guess I will have to do that for next year!!!

Congrats!

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but in my opinion your Kat is far superior to the overdone spider car.

We won when the kat was stock. The Prowler will win both ways. Even with the mods I am usually the only one that knows the changes, just go out and have a ball.

2. If stock kats rarely win trophies, what does it take to win one (add-ons, paint,etc.)?

Just enter, winning a trophy is not what we enter for. We may not please the judges all the time but the crowd knows who is best.

3. Where do you find local car shows? I assume that there are several each month in Southern California, but I just don't know where to look.

Listen to the radio, the stations the young adults listen to. Visit car dealerships, they have shows. Go to drive-ins and ask around, The best is to go to audio stores for cars, and graphic shops, they will usually know the shows coming up. Go cruising, that is a car show in itself. Our radio stations web sites will tell of up coming shows.

Thanks for the advice. Someone needs to come up with a website that lists shows nationally.
